External Assessments

The CRIA-mandated external assessments are directly related to long-term student outcome goals within our strategic plan.
The Virginia State Standards of Learning (VSoL) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have been adapted to the local school community needs within Guanacaste.

We remain committed to using the most effective external assessments to help each individual student grow and ultimately be well-prepared for university success.

MAP TESTING

MAP testing is done twice yearly online and provides immediate feedback on academic skills and knowledge. MAP testing allows families and teachers alike to track students’ development within numeracy and literacy standards. It is considered the premier external assessment program and continues to be highly beneficial to improving student outcomes over time.
